    File Explorer Preview Pane Sucks


    I was late to learn that Microsoft File Explorer has a Preview feature that allows you to preview your files before opening them I used to be an Apple user before the level integration between all my Apple devices scared me away. But the preview feature rarely works on any of my Windows operating system computers. Not cool. I miss being able to hit the space bar on my mac to preview any file with ease; it never failed.

    :)

    preview/details pane in explorer

    Hi,

    Setting the Preview pane to show or hide in File Explorer will apply to all folders. If you wish to hide the Preview pane in File Explorer, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

    • Open File Explorer.
    • Tap on View tab.
    • Click Preview Pane to view/hide it.

    We would appreciate it if you could get back to us and provide us your feedback.

    Video in the preview pane

    Aileen,

    Thank you so much for your reply.

    What I really need to know is how get the video to play in the preview pane. Prior to Windows 10, this worked wonderfully and was an asset. Now, it requires making changes to the Windows registry - not recommended due to the enormous amount of issues with
    Windows 10.

    Any other suggestions?
